Powershell Calling .NET Assembly that uses App.config
Try:
[System.AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.SetData("APP_CONFIG_FILE", $config_path)
After researching further I found out the cause. At an earlier point in the script I was loading SMO:
$null = [reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sqlserver.smo") I believe this some how mangles my configuration settings. The fix was to do as Chris mentions above to this call first:
[System.AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.SetData("APP_CONFIG_FILE", $null)$null = [reflection.assembly]::loadwithpartialname("microsoft.sqlserver.smo") And then on my second call to another assembly do this:
$config_path = $assembly_exe + ".config"[System.AppDomain]::CurrentDomain.SetData("APP_CONFIG_FILE", $config_path)[Reflection.Assembly]::LoadFrom($assembly_exe)Problem appears to be solved...
